    SUCCESS STORY - 

    PLITEK® Reduces Lead Time and Cost for a PCR Manufacturer

    For a large volume polymerase chain reaction (PCR) diagnostic device manufacturer, PLITEK® provided consolidated supply chain solution including medical grade film extrusion per specification, precision die cutting three parts using optical registration and quality to produce one (set) which is then assembled in each PCR device. The challenge was to extrude a film from injection molding grade resin, per customer’s specification. Applying our material science and process expertise, we were able to deliver the desired solution.

    Our vertical integration allowed our client to consolidate supply chain reducing shipping cost, lead time, and overall price per piece. PLITEK®‘s ability to complete IQ, OQ, PQ validation in time allowed the customer a faster market launch. PLITEK® worked closely with the client’s engineering, quality, and purchasing teams to provide validation and production quantities, on time, on quality, and below the target price. The production volume has been increasing 2021.

  • PLITEK® is a leading contract manufacturer specializing in extruding custom medical grade films in ISO Class 8 clean rooms. We have the ability to extrude smaller startup quantities supporting our customers from a design and development phase, through high volume production and commercialization. Custom films can be provided in roll form, sheet form, or as precision die cut components tailored to meet specific application requirements.

    Medical film extrusion is a technology commonly used to make plastic medical grade films. The high-volume manufacturing process involves extruding molten polymer through a slot or die to form a film. Films are strategically produced by propelling copolymers into a steel die at high processing temperatures to obtain the sought-after outcome in flexibility, resilience, and transparency. Strength, barrier, and weight are properties that can be achieved through customization. This offers a great benefit to a multitude of industries including diagnosticsmedicalostomywound carepackaging, consumer products, and wearables. Our in-line process allows for slitting of the extruded film as well as lamination of protective film. Custom films can be provided in roll or sheet form or as precision die cut components.
